Which colors should I use for my new hunting rifle?

[Len Backus]

This will be fun. On this site you can play around with Cerakote color combos.

Which 2 or 3 combos do you think I should consider for my new HUNTING RIFLE? Ignore the 2 camo versions, please.

In the "virtual guncoater" you must choose a color for the slide and one for the frame. Mine will be a rifle, of course, so we really mean the barrel and the stock. Since I often re-sell my rifles, suggest combos that will have a broad appeal...nice looking but nothing too wild.

• Barreled Action Color:
  
• Stock Color:

I'm strangely attracted to Flat Dark Earth (stock) & Coyote Tan (Metal).

Or

Nut Brown (Stock) & Armor Black (Metal)

 

[Ernie]

Possible color combo:
Stock - Sniper grey
barreled action - Titanium

 

[Mysticplayer]

barrel/action Armour Black or Sniper Grey
Stock OD Green

Pretty safe colours.

Len I like Titanium on the metal and either Mil spec green or Flat dark earth on the stock.

I'm with Coyboy.

From a partially color blind guy, how would you describe flat dark earth?

I have used the sniper gray on 3 or 4 guns now and they have turned out great. I have been thinking of using it in combination with the titanium. I think it would be a good combo.
I love the Cerakote
Oh yea has anyone used the non bake version they make? I have only used the bake on stuff and have been reluctant to use the non bake because the other works so well. Sorry to hijack with a question.

Barrel: FOLIAGE GREEN H-263

Stock: FOREST GREEN H-248

Len,

The best comparison I can give you is it's like OD green with a brown overtone.
Or vice versa. It's a very matte combo of green and brown. Hard to pick either one as being dominent.

Thanks for the help guys, but for your suggestions please choose only from the colors on the Ceracoat website.
